LG BD 570 Netflix Streaming issues LG BD570 Network Blu-ray Disc PlayerI am having a problem getting netflix to stream on the LG BD570. Everything else works fine when I stream through vudu or the other services available with the 570, except netflix. I have read some complaints by some users but not everyone seems to have this problem. Does anyone have any solutions or suggestions? I can access my account, scroll through all the movie selections and even rate them but when I click to watch I continually get a reply that the movie is not available at this time.

I bought mine new right after X-mas, had the same problem (not able to stream Netflix), I did the "reset" as stated above, and logged into my secure router (Netgear Wireless-N 300 Router[WNR2000v2]), and I was able to stream Netflix after that.The night before, I had called EVERYBODY (LG, Netflix, and Netgear) customer support(s), and got nowhere. Netflix was the best though, in enlightening me that I needed to open 2 ports opened for streaming to work. I did that, but no change.The "RESET" worked though, ports 443 and 80. I hope this post casts some light on the problem to someone out there....! Good luck everyone...!

That sucks, Ryan. Maybe when the next firmware update comes out, you can reset the unit through the menu after you update the firmware, and it will work.

I had the same issue with my player. After reading these posts I Initialized my player setting it back to default, then let the player search for a new update which it found. "BD.8.97.398" "H90377". Installed the before mentioned update and I can now stream Netflix. Hope this helps everybody.

Hey. I replied to your post in the other thread but I'll write you here in case you don't see it. You have to go into Options and then press Initialize (to reset the system to factory settings). This gets rid of the bug. It showed up on an older firmware and seems to stay around until you do this. I have heard that it also works if you click 'Deactivate Netflix' and then re-activate it, but it's better to be safe by resetting the unit to the factory settings in case there were some other bugs that could be removed to. Hell, you might as well do both just to be really sure. Deactivate Netflix, and then Initialize Settings. Hey.

I have the same problem with this LG player. It won't stream Netflex. I did the reset for factory settings and I deactivated and reactivated Netflex. Neither action helped. I a starting to think that the LG Blu-ray is the problem

it has StreamTV support which is basically like a linux computer with apps like Roku on board... Vudu, who is a Netflix competitor supports the apps... they are pretty good and include twitter facebook etc. Vudu is a no subscription, $2 rental service, which for most people makes it more expensive than Netflix, but it's very premium.... it has very wide support of hot cable series like californication True Blood etc (Amazon is almost as good and Netflix is way far behind on this)..... also Vudu doesn't have a 30 day restriction on new releases like Amazon and Netflix, so anything that comes out on DVD Blu ray is available the day of release.... also if it is available on bluray, then Vudu has itin 1080 which blows away Netflix and Amazon who selectively offer HD content... Netflix is cheap, but it's really not that great.... Amazon Prime is sorta free but is really lacking in HD.... Vudu is premium but will end up costing you if you watch a lot.... My bet is Mitsu will make it an open platform at some point and you will be able to get anything

I just tried streaming (wired connection) with Sony BDP-BX37 and Sony BDP-BX57. Installed latest update on both. After a few minutes of streaming it pauses, gets into the "Loading, Please wait..." mode and doesn't resume at all after that. My internet provider was on the line running tests when it happens and didn't see any problem from his side. It happens not only with Netflix but with YouTube as well. I can stream fine from my PC, or from my Sony XBR9 TV. I am sure there is a major flaw in the firmware of the Sony BDPs. Maybe they don't work well with certain routers. I have a D-Link 624.

Dang! Yeah, that is unfortunate. A wireless connection would have been a good complement to my Roku Netflix player. I can only assume that Sony will look to add wireless capability into the next generation of BD players...

I just sent the same request to Amazon customer service. Maybe if they get enough requests something will happen. our BD 570 is only 2 years old - so were not ready to go shopping for a new Blu-ray player yet.here are the links for customer service @ both sites - if we barrage them with requests - maybe something will happen?https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/contact-us?ie=UTF8&nodeId;=508510&https://wws.lg.com/us/support/message-customer-support

I've tried 3 different discs from Netflix and all with the same result - nothing! A new update disc from Sony arrived today so I'll see if that helps.

I have the 50-inch version and I have still have issues with Netflix, but nowhere near the problems I was having with my Sony Blu-ray. The problems mostly happen during peak hours (5:00PM - 9:00PM). As far as 4K streaming from Netflix...I don't think they have 4K content yet. I did have the Sony Server that offered some true 4K content, but it took forever to download videos (15 hours to download Elysium and I have a 35MB connection). I ended up taking the $700 server back since you don't get much for your money. Hope this helps.

I was not able to keep the device working long enough to find out. I was able to register it and connect to NetFlix. I strongly recommend you consider another blu-ray device.

I saw favorable reviews overall for this Samsung unit and bought one on sale for $299 at Best Buy a few days ago. Had a rough go setting up Netflix streaming at first and then got it to flow pretty well but then it stopped midstream while viewing a Netflix movie. Couldn't figure out why and so tried three different DVD movies out and had a very difficult time to get them to play at all. Longest viewing went 18 seconds and then went kaput. Took the unit back to the store and got another in exchange (same model), planning to go with the LG390 if this one failed, too. But Lo and Behold!, this unit has been running flawlessly thus far with less than a week of ownership. Great streaming for the Netflix films as well (not Blu-Ray quality, of course, but the HD-labelled films have been near HD-DVD quality anyway). So, so far I am holding my breath and hoping it works out over the long haul. Will keep all posted if troubles arise.

Not sure what your error is, just got mine today and did an update. netflix was fine. I got netflix to work on my old ps3, wii and now this. Setup is awkward where you have to get info from your blu-ray player and look onto the computer, back and forth, but I got it done and it works fine. The PS3 layout is way better, you can search for movie, here all you get is what is in your queue.

I had this problem with Netflix discs. Note that there is a second firmware update, which might help. Also, when I talked to Sharp, they suggested I unplug the player, and then run the setup and select the reset option. That seems to work, also. I've just ordered another blu-ray from Netflix. I'm hoping the new firmware update fixes the "locking" problem.

As of right now firmware version 1.51 is available, and netflix appears to be working again. I didn't test anything else, so proceed with caution.

Thanks R. Oxhorn and Noaxtogrind. You asked and answered my question. Just got the Samsung BD5700 for a gift and hope Samsung does update the Blu-ray to access Amazon's streaming.

I have found lower quality resolution with Netflix streaming wirelessly than I get with Amazon using the same speed and config. I have a BluRay player attached that has wireless that I plan to try to see if it is better but I don't think it is the connection since I can stream HD from Amazon and get a totally crisp picture. I have a 10mb connection. UPDATE:As mentioned above I did try streaming Netflix through my Sony BluRay to see if the connection was better. It may have been very marginally better, but did not solve the recurring pixelation problem. In my case at 10mb it may be partially a speed problem. I plan to upgrade to 60 or 90 in the next few weeks and will post another update after that as well.

Yes to all. See my other answers. I subscribe to Netflix and have not had any issues. But typically, my TV and my AppleTV box can all stream Netflix so I usually do not turn my Blu-ray on for Netflix although it does stream it with no problems.
